As for Hugh's ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness, who the actor split from in September last year, one insider revealed what the Aussie actress thinks of the potential match.

'Hugh and Deb would often cross paths with Kate at events in New York, but there's never been anything more than a working relationship between them.'
Nevertheless, the insider added 'there were huge sparks flying' between Hugh and Kate as they sat together at Wimbledon.
'This was more than just Hugh's naturally flirtatious ways. You could tell he's pretty taken by his old co-star,' they said.
